Mastery-2

“How do you get your hair to stay like that all day?”, my seventeen year-old brother asks me.

To be honest, I’m just a master at using the smallest amount of gel to achieve the maximum amount of spike. I’ve only been gelling my hair since I came to college because while I was in high school, I usually had all of my hair buzzed because due to its ease of care.

In high school, having practice after school and having gel in your hair did not exactly cooperate. We would have to rinse the gel out before practice and if we didn’t, the gel would get into our eyes and cause a burning sensation.
Once I came into college, and discovered the art of not scheduling a class until 10:30AM; I found myself letting my hair grow and thus my skills developed at an advanced rate. Before I knew it, I was able to achieve the appropriate hair style I wanted in less than three minutes. Plus, my mother thinks I have “moved beyond” the buzzed hair cut.

Would I ever go back to the buzzed hair cut? Probably not for the fear my head would look like a watermelon.
